Majority of people say coronavirus has not increased their faith

The majority of U.S. adults say that the coronavirus pandemic has not increased their faith, according to a study released Thursday by the Pew Research Center.

The study, conducted in late April, found that, while people are far more likely to have clung more tightly to religion than not, most say that their faith is unchanged. Only 24% reported an increase, while 2% said their faith is weaker. About 50% said that their faith is unchanged. The remainder said that the question does not apply to them because they are not religious.
